The Pensacola luxury hotels are some of the best hotels that you will find in Florida's panhandle region. In addition to tasteful rooms and generous amenities, they provide proximity to white-sand beaches that have little trouble impressing even the most critical beach enthusiast. They also offer easy access to a host of other interesting attractions, such as Fort Pickens and the National Museum of Naval Aviation.

Luxury Pensacola lodging can be found in three main areas. One of these areas is Pensacola Beach, and it is where you will find the Portofino Island Resort and Spa. Arguably the most luxurious lodging that you will find in the area, this condo resort at 10 Portofino Drive in Pensacola Beach boasts sleek vacation rental properties that are filled with amenities. Among these amenities are gourmet kitchens and private laundry facilities, and you can consider paying extra for perks such as an in-condo massage or chef services. If you have more than massage in mind, the onsite spa offers a wide range of treatments. Other facilities at the excellent Portofino Island Resort and Spa (pictured at top) include tennis courts, a fitness center, a healthy collection of swimming pools, two restaurants, and a market where you can pick up supplies to stock your kitchen.

Another area that offers some of the best Pensacola luxury hotels is the island of Perdido Key. On this island, condo resorts reign supreme, and they provide many of the same amenities that you would expect at the Portofino Island Resort. Such is the case with the Eden Condominiums Resort, for example. Glorious swimming pools with cascading waterfall features are among the facilities at Eden Condominiums, and you'll also find a full-service spa onsite. There's even a boat ramp, a small business center, and some tennis courts to take advantage of, and that's just the start. In the vacation style rental units, style and comfort are the name of the game. Flat-screen TVs add to the upscale edge, as do the granite counter tops in the kitchens, and you shouldn't want for space, even in the smaller one-bedroom units.
